MODERATORS
their system rests on a few lynch pins... the relays. guess who is going to run those. hell, their own diagram has one 'entryway' into their system..
federation feels like an afterthought, and clearly not fully decentralized.
i would argue lemmy is one of the most interesting. this might have been the most interesting 18 months ago
I find the stackable layers interesting, but I like the decentralization of the fediverse. I’m way outside my realm of expertise here, but would it be possible for a platform to adopt both?
yeah theres a guy trying to bridge them right now.. kinda po'd some of the bluesky peeps.
e. maybe this: https://docs.bsky.app/blog/feature-bridgyfed ?
Neat, I’ll have to look into it. Thanks!
Why did it irritate folks at bluesky?
Seems like it was mostly Mastodon people irritated The main issue is that it was opt-out and not opt-in:

https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/issues?q=opt-out
I don't think the bridge provides the moderation features of Bluesky though.
it had something to do with the differences in federation.
in the fediverse what you put out there is pretty much public information. you lose control as it replicates across the verse. bluesky wants to tag that data to an owner who can control its dissemination... among other things
